Sedation Dentistry

Dr. Trent Young has gone to great lengths to be able to provide you with sedation options to help you be comfortable while you receive your dental care. We offer three levels of sedation.

Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide is a safe and effective sedative agent that will help you relax. It is mixed with oxygen and inhaled through a small mask that fits over your nose.

Nitrous oxide, sometimes called "laughing gas," is one option we may offer to help make you more comfortable during dental procedures. It is not intended to put you to sleep. You will be able to hear and respond to any requests or directions we may have. Dr. Trent Young will ask you to breathe normally through your nose, and within a few short minutes you should start to feel the calming effects of the nitrous oxide. The effects of nitrous oxide wear off soon after the mask is removed. Talk to us about whether nitrous oxide would be a good option for you at your next appointment.
